Letters Patent No. 100,842, dated March 15, 1870.

dew- IMPRQVEMENT :Neem-SHIPPING MECHANISM PoR SPINNINGJACKS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom fit may concern; v

i I, Josnrl-r BARON, of Millbury, in the county ,of `lvoreester, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain `new and useful Improvements in Friction Motions for Jacks, of i w Alich the following is a specification. y

Natu'rc mul Objects of my Invention.

The object of my invention is to enable the jack to automatically'.throw von the belt sufiioiently for its friction to wind the yarii on the cops while the carriage is returning to place.

'lo this end its nature consists in arranging aflever to operate on the shipper or its connections, and connecting said lever to another to be operated by the `carriage when run clear out, and providing the necessary stops and conditions requisite to its complete operation.

In the accompanying drawingsv A Figure 1 shows the part-s of a back of a jack, em-

bodying my invention.

"Figure 2 shows a side view of the loperating-lever, .with its rod, stop, and connections.. i

` way.

F is a lever pivoted at G, `with one end bearing nder the horizontal arin of -lever D, and the other end, S, extending out, to be operated. byA the elbow- A lever H, which hasts lower end connected bythe rod tto the 'operating-lever J, said rod having a screw vand nut on one end, to adjust it to throwl the belt on,

more or less, as required.

K is a catch or stop, adjustable on the rod L, for holding the lever J back by falling infront of it.

M is a lever, fast on the rod L, and is operated by the piece N on the carriage R, to throw out the stop and release the friction.

0 is a guard-lever on the rod L, `and falls against v the pin p' on the lever F.

The operation is asfollows:

NVhen the carriage runs out the register E is in gear with its driving-screw, and the end S of the lever F is lowered, so that it will not be moved by the lever H as it is operated by the carriage in its outward run. As the backing off is performed, the belts are shifted and the end S of lever F raised, so that thel operator in pulling the carriage clear out, strikes the lever J, which, through t and H, depresses the arm S, throwing on the belt as required'. 'lhe notch in the guard O allows4 the catch K `to fall in front of J, and holds it whilst the carriage runs in, when the piece Ndepresses lever M on the-shaft L, and releases the catch and allows the belt to runoii l `I claim the combination of the levers F, H, J and M, catch K, guard O, rods L L,`and piece N on the carriage, when constructed, arranged, and operating in the manner and for the purposes above set forth.

In testimony' whereof I hereunto set my hand this 17th day of November, A. D. 1869.
